Milwaukee, Wisconsin – Wind-driven rain and rapidly changing weather will disrupt routines across Milwaukee this spring week, with thunderstorms set to roll in Tuesday and persistent showers forecast through Friday. Residents and commuters should prepare for slippery roads, strong wind gusts, and possible travel delays—especially on I-94 and other major routes.
According to the National Weather Service, Milwaukee faces a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms beginning Tuesday morning, with wind gusts as high as 30 mph. Showers may continue through Wednesday night, with rainfall totals approaching half an inch and higher localized amounts possible. These conditions can reduce visibility, increase accident risk, and lead to standing water on roads—especially during peak travel hours.
By Tuesday night, expect partly cloudy skies and lows in the upper 30s, bringing a chill to late spring evenings. Wednesday stays unsettled, with an 80 percent chance of precipitation and more wind. East winds will keep conditions raw and damp, urging drivers to reduce speed and allow extra stopping distance on I-94, I-43, and local streets.
Showers continue into Thursday, gradually tapering by Friday. Utility crews and emergency services advise residents to charge devices, secure loose outdoor items, and stay weather-aware. With frequent spring changes, students and workers should check for possible school or transit delays.
